DEW-SCENTED guitarist and songwriter Marvin Vriesde checked in to comment about the track as follows: “I really dig how the riffs and drums in ‘Storm Within’, have almost a mechanical feel to them. I thought it would be cool for Dew-Scented to do a heavy double bass driven song with a lot of heavy, chugging guitars. So I took the chance to make it happen. The heavy character of the song also allowed Leif to do some deeper vocals. The deep vocals fit the song perfectly and add a bit of extra dynamic to the album. Chances are, that this song is gonna go down really well when we play it live”.

Icarus will be released as a limited first edition Digipak including 3 bonus tracks as well as on vinyl (black and limited coloured versions) on July, 30th via Metal Blade Records in the UK!

DEW-SCENTED has posted yesterday the first single taken off Icarus! Check out the landing page at http://www.metalblade.com/dewscented and stream the album’s first song Sworn To Obey. Make also sure to check out the pre-order links, there’s a CD/shirt bundle available as well!DEW-SCENTED vocalist Leif Jensen comments about Sworn To Obey as follows: “‘Sworn To Obey’ was an obvious candidate to open up the new album and it was actually one of the very last tracks we finished in the songwriting sessions for ‘Icarus’. Already when working on the final arrangements for the song, we knew it would become an extremely heavy and catchy piece! Kicking in after the anthem-like ‘Hubris’ instrumental intro, ‘Sworn To Obey’ is a sweet punch in the gut in true Dew-Scented style and smoothly helps to set the album’s pace in the right fashion! I simply love the lead-guitar part and the crazy bass-lines afterwards. I’m sure this one will be real fun to play live.”
